California, where else?
I was sitting in a truckstop vaping after my meal and chatting with a few fellow truckers when this cop walked in and came straight at me. I knew what he was after before he got to me.
He informed me in his best official voice that someone called and reported that I was smoking in the building. I gave him my best innocent look (which I'm not very good at) and asked him if he saw or smelled any smoke. He admitted that he didn't but insisted that 'someone" had observed me smoking.
I held up my e-cig, took a nice drag on it, and blew out the vapor. I then asked him again if he saw or smelled any smoke. He was a bright boy because he caught on pretty quickly and asked me if that was "one of those new smokeless electric things".
I confirmed that it was indeed "one of those smokeless electric things" and unscrewed the atomizer from the battery to show him. He was all "well, ummm, ok, I guess that's alright then, I'm just doing my job" and walked off.
I was laughing my .... off and hoping that whatever idiot had made the call instead of approaching me was watching.
Well, ok, I have to admit that I am not a little fellow so I can understand why they might not have felt comfortable approaching me, but still... it was funny to me. The other drivers got a pretty good laugh out of it too.
